Hickson filled his appointment at old Midway last Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock. His text was taken from the 18th chapter and first verse of Luke. He will preach again the first Sunday In March. Everybody Is invited to come and hear hi™- B* O. Turner, our hustling farmer, has had his dwelling house nnlnbed, which adds much to lt<; beauty. Mrs. Booth Harris and Miss Minnie Burgess attended services at Midway last Sunday. Mr. Alfred Harris, one of our wealthy farmers, had the misfortune to lose one of his fine mules last night. It was valued at about $250. When a man loses a fine mule these days it means something. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Smith have re turned from Forest City, where they ''pent some time visiting relatives and friends. Mr. and Mrs. Cal Blanton, of Hen rietta, N. C., and Miss Mazie Jarrett, of Butler, visited Miss Hattie Turner this week. Miss Lillie Pryor Is attending the singing at Macedonia. I hope all our boys and girls will take advantage of that opportunity. What is any sweet er than good singing? It cheers the home; we need it In our churches and Sunday schools. Mrs. Booth Harris delightfully en tertained a number of her friends at her home on January 13th, in honor of Master Vernon’s birthday. At 12 o’clock the invited guests were ush ered into the dining room, where so many nice things had been prepared, such as nice vegetables, soups, tur key. chicken, pies cakes custards and manv other nice things too numerous to mention. Those present were: Mesdames Lee Smith, B. P. Love, John Clary, C. Harris. Cassie Wilkins, E. Dorman, B. Clary. James Byars; Misses Marie Smith, Hattie Turner, Sallie Byars. Our farmers will be ready to begin another crop as soon as the "round will do to plow. We are looking for more rough weather to come yet. What has become of Tommie, of State Line, and Pete. Come again, boys; wake up. I enjoy your letters hugely. I guess Pete is off on a sporting expedition. I suppose Tom mie has sung himself to sleep. Say, come down to Macedonia and give us some of your good bass and tenor, too, Mr. Charlie Vassey and sister, Eth el, attended services at Midway Sun day. If this escapes the waste basket I will come again. Mama’s Pride. California Poultry Show. Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 2, 1906. Editor The Ledger, Gaffney, S. C Dear Sir:—The writer, having had the nleasuro of attending the South ern California poultry show, held ir. Los Angeles, perhaps an account of same will be of interest to the readers of your publication. The exhibit of over two thousand entries being made In tents in mid winter was one of unimie interest. Three large tents gave shelter to the outfit of fowls. Inside of the tent there was a labyrinth of aisles formed bv the exhibition cages, and one had to travel many a foot-step in order to see all the interesting sights offered in feathered beauties. The Americans were certainly in the ascendency. The White Wyan- dottes showed the largest number en tered, closely followed by the Barred and White Rocks. The English were represented by the Orpingtons, with some grand specimens, including a number of imported birds from Eng land. The quality was there in Barred and White Rocks, White, Columbian, Buff and Silver Penciled Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, Blue Andalusians, Brown Leghorns, and especially the Black'fa inorcas. There was also one exhibition baby ostriches hatched in one of the incubators on exhibition. I was also very much interested in the California method of preserving eggs. The Pacific Supply & Brokerage Co.. Severance building, gave me their receipt gratuitously and said that the> would be very glad to send it to any of my friends for the asking. The ventilation and lights was ex cellent. and I never atte :.ied a more harmonious show. Large crowds thronged the tents day and night, which were lighted with electricity. There are great opportunities for "ouitry raking in Southern California. Reports issued by the produce ex change for last year (1905) show that over two million dozen qf eggs were phlnoed in here from the eastern States to supply the demand. Respectfully, Thomas F. Morcran Trying to look intelligent often re sults -in nervous prostration. What do they Mean? (Charlotte Observer.) The Greenville, S. C.. News of Fri day had a local article of which this is a part: “For two hours last night a shivery houseful of Greenville people looked and listened and wondered what Con gressman David DeArmond caipe all the way from Missouri to say. He was too) ed to deliver a lecture on ‘Victory tnd Defeat,’ and because he came un- er the auspices of the Greenville Ly ceum Association he must perforce ave had a message. If he had one he,has it yet. He talks and talks, sav ing nice, proper things in a ladv-like voice, and never, by any chance alarm ing his audience by saving anything new. or expressing the old things in a new way. Honestly, it is hard to un derstand why Congressman David De- Axmond ever drifted upon the lyceum stage.” And more to the same uumose. “Fiasco” is used in further character ization of the lecture. Now, Repre sentative DeArmond is considered a man of might. He has fine standing in the House, for the speakership of which he has been suggested If the Democrats carry it next fall—is well regarded by the country and in his own State, in which he has been a judge, and what his congressional dis trict thinks of him is demonstrated by the fact that he has represented it for eighteen years. What does a man like that mean by entering an arena for which he has no fitness, depreciat ing himself before people who have a good opinion qf him, won bv effort In his proper sphere? But he is not the first and it is not probable that he Is the last. Still, dollars earned at the expense of reputation are too dearly totten. Damash Mfg. Plant to be Sold. A meeting of the creditors of the Damash Manufacturing Company has been called to be held in the office of Judge Strudwick. at Greensboro, on Wednesday. February 21st. The ob ject of the meeting is devise ways and means for selling the property of the company, which is located at Roar Ing river, Wilkes county. The compa ny was organized two or three years ago by W. L. Harper, of Winston-Sa lem; Dr. Pegram, of Roaring River; and Ira B. Hays, of South Carolina. These gentlemen secured valuable water power and began work on the erection of a plant for the manufacture of cotton goods. Before the enterprise was put in operation a misunderstand ing arose between Dr. Pegram and two other members of the firm and result ed in a suit. Finally Messrs. Hays and Harper purchased Dr. Pegram’s interest. A short time thereafter Mr. Hays left Roaring River and his where abouts remain unknown to Mr Har per, who, by appointment of the Fed eral court, is in charge of the property. The plant is heavily mortgaged and it is not thought, that it wil] bring more than the claims against the com pany. ♦«0 * * •• “ - • ft* o if. crops That Convince* We will convince you that you can “increase your yields per acre” and yon won’t have to keep it a secret, either.

Cotton Mill for Dallas, N. C. Through the efforts of some of the business men of Dallas another cotton mill has been secured for that place. It will he built on a lot adjoining the Dallas cotton mill property. Of the capital stock, $51,000 has been sub scribed and the balance will be se cured to erect a 5,000 spindle yarn mill.

V r •ic Yields * v 'r Acre' , Chen Three Things to Consider In Buying a Stove or Range QUALITY, A Soldier Killed. Meagre details reached Wilmington Saturday night of the killing of K. M Malpass. a young man belonging to the artillery corps at Fort Caswell, who was on his way to Blands, Pen der county, Saturday morning to visit his mother. Malpass boarded thp traip ah Wilmington and, arriving at Wal lace, hired a livery stable conveyance to take him tq his hqme in the cquutr" A driver was sent along and, it is said, the two were drinking together. When the yoyng soldier was almost iiojne a pistol, belonging to one or the other of them, got in its deadly work and Malpass was killed. The driver hastened back to Wallace with word that the young man had killed himself. A woman living on the roadside, how ever. claims to have seen the shooting and is reported as being quite positive that the driver shot and killed the sol dier. it was not learned whether the driver was white or colored. The kill ing is being investigated 1 the au thorities. ECONOMY AND PRICE. Hirst—A Range or Stove that isn’t made of the very best material will soon erack —it no longer cooks well, your money was wasted and yoa are dissatisfied. Second—The Range or Stove that is built so that the heat escapes through un necessary apertures, consumes twice as much fuel as the one properly built, then your fuel bill is too heavy and you are not satisfied. Third—Don’t yield to the common iallacy that the article sold for the fewest dollars is the cheapest. If a cookiug apparatus isn’t built for a long life, it isn’t cheap at any price. Its not what you pay for a thing that counts, its what you ^etfo^our money. Fourth—Our celebrated Leader Stoves and Matchless Ranges are especially stroag on these points—iu fact, all points pertaining io sfove perfection—made of the best material, don’t crack, v ill cut your fuel bill to half, consequently the most economi cal. They are worth every dollar you pay for one. It is quality that’s considered —not cheapness. Come let us sell you one, as the present price is a very small consideration, but they are sure to go higher, as you well know, everything is advancing.
